All of our products are priced based on the cost of goods and on recovering our cost of development over time. The KPA500 will be fairly priced using these same criteria.
The KPA500 includes a built-in linear power supply, with a toroidal transformer, to ensure no added transmit noise. There's no way to do this cheaply. It's also an extremely compact amplifier, matching the K3 in size, which was not easy. These and other features make for an apples-and-oranges comparison to other amplifiers. If the KPA500's unique qualities are not what you're looking for, there are other alternatives at lower cost. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
